Hey That is a weir video! I Wonder what those birds like about that particular tree. If hey keep doing that they will eventually manage to break it!

80% of the trees in my town have been pruned (needlessly), i aint saying the standard is not good but i drove past a 2 metere tree that had been crown reduced . The tree was was in open standind and was not big before and the crown didnt need reshaping (madness).
